A mangala sutra (Sanskrit: मङ्गलसूत्रम्, romanised: maṅgalasūtram), or tali (ISO: tāḷi), is a necklace worn by certain groups of married women from the Indian subcontinent. It is typically associated with Hindu weddings, during which a ceremony known as the Mangalya Dharanam (Sanskrit for 'wearing the auspicious') may be conducted, upon which the mangalasutra is tied around the neck of the bride by the groom.
